  1. Even allowing for a few years of recovery, that's one hell of a long degree program. Class of 2010.
  2. I think it will be a fast motherfucker.
  3. Saw the Houston Open on the other day. Is that the new schedule permanently or are they going to try to move it back to the Spring? Holy shit it was a bunch of no names. Houston should have a much bigger presence on the tour than that.
  4. Fuck its fun to drive. Even at 80mph it will put your head into the headrest getting to 100+. And I've been taking it easy, not slamming the accelerator to the floor. Breaking it in before I try out launch mode. Not going to go with the tune just yet. Need to race against my boss with his Porsche 911 Turbo (I will lose, but probably not embarrassed) and another co-workers Jaguar F-Type (will be close). Since the engine is the same as the 850i, here's what I've found as far as potential performance upgrades. Pretty significant increase in HP and torque. https://www.motor1.com/news/302694/g-power-bmw-m850i/ https://www.bmwblog.com/2019/04/29/video-br-performance-tune-takes-bmw-m850i-xdrive-to-680-hp/ https://carbuzz.com/news/modified-bmw-m850i-packs-more-power-than-m8-competition
  5. This is why I love the Shag, uh, Surly. They probably end up inside the Amazon boxes that make up most of the recycling.
  6. I'll drop it off for the satin vinyl wrap tomorrow, but couldn't help bringing it home. Definitely a beast but will break it in a little before going full throttle. Will get better pictures too. And yes, we're recycling motherfuckers.
  7. This video is pretty pleasing. The next step is to cut off his balls while he's knocked the fuck out just to make sure he doesn't procreate.
  8. Bluestone Metallic with Black Nappa/Aluminum interior. With the wrap it will be a satin finish.
  9. Supposed to be delivered to the dealership this past weekend but looks it comes in on the 11th. Then several more days to get the tint/satin coat. Pissed because I am going out of town this coming weekend and it really worked out perfect before.
  10. I think the tune is probably already available because it's the same engine as the 850 but I'm going to hold off for now.
  11. Literally.
  12. I'll just say Phil [emoji3]
  13. 550i should be delivered today. Having it delivered to EVS Motors for tint and full satin wrap. They use Prestige SatinGuard which i went and looked at and its pretty slick looking. The 2020 550i comes with 523hp and 580 lb-ft torque. Dinan apparently isn't supported by BMW anymore, but they said they can tune the car and add 100hp and over 100 lb-ft of torque. It's all electronic tuning and basically turns it into an M5. Anybody have experience with tuning like this and had any issues with the warranty?
  14. Looking forward to meeting Carlos. When I posted this my wife was already talking with someone else that had been recommended to her and they flaked out. I really appreciate the recommendation. Phil, if you'll PM your full name I'll definitely let him know you recommended him.
  15. Had Pho Binh for the first time today. Too much Star Anise/Cinnamon. Overpowering. This was the one on Bellaire. I will say I'm on some medication right now that is fucking up my taste buds, but it typically makes everything taste to salty and this tasted liked it need a lot more salt to counter the flavor of the Star Anise/Cinammon. Still ok, but not as good as I was expecting. Will try again when I'm off the medication.
  16. I've had a car run a red light and go behind me as I went on the green. /Houston
  17. Just the rhythm of that song fucking jams for me. I love this album. Make Art Not Friends is badass too. But most of the rest album just fucking rocks. Its great. Very similar to the last show i saw him play although it was him jamming on his guitar playing all the songs from the last couple albums. Completely different from the previous shows I'd seen him with the large backing band. What an artist. Listening to the Joe Rogan podcast now.
  18. The general consensus was that she'd walk. She didn't. She was convicted. She got a 10 year sentence. Is it enough, no. But its a fucking step in the right direction. I wish she'd gotten 20+ but its a starting point and will hopefully continue to move in the right direction.
  19. Anyone familiar with 713 Motoring in Houston? Was recommended.
  20. So i know you can wrap with different colors but do they make one that just makes the original color/finish look matte?
  21. I've also heard that you shouldn't have the dealer detail the car people because they don't do a good job. Just have it transported to the shop to get it detailed and wrapped.
  22. I'm not as old as you so less worried about peeing on the seats.
  23. I'll check it out. I'm assuming it doesn't cause any issues with washing and detailing the car? Any issues if i drop it off at the dealer and they want it, do i need to make them aware? The show i watched did pretty much the entire exposed/front area on the car. Is it worth that or just doing the front bra area?
  24. Is vinyl wrap or ceramic coating worth the money? If so, any recommendations?
